RE: [emergency] RE: Sensors and sensor standards - clarification please

Carl,

You are correct. The IF SC also has the task of looking for 
any other sensor standards work to identify gaps or overlaps. When that is done 
we will make use of all the good work done to ensure the EDXL payload for 
sensors is understandable.

RE: Sensors and sensor standards - clarification please

Hi -

 

Sorry, but I need some help understanding the semantics of the use in this 
TC of the term "sensor standards". IEEE 1451 has developed and 
approved a class of sensor standards. ISO TC 204 is defining and seeking 
approval of a set of abstract sensor interface and encoding standards for 
telematics (in car sensor systems), and the OGC is defining and approving a set 
of interface and encoding standards for discovery, access, description, and 
tasking of sensors.

 

I do not think that the EM TC is looking to develop this class of 
standards. I think what we are talking about are how to express information as 
part of an EDXL payload about a sensor or a sensor observation that has been 
provided by one of the standards mentioned above.

 

Am I correct?

 

Thanks for the help!
